 What's going on everyone got a brand new movie of you for you guys today and today we're discussing first man first man And Damien Chazelle's third directorial effort after making whiplash a masterpiece and also after making la la land another masterpiece See I was a little bit hype going into this film because it's Damien Chazelle I want to see what this guy's gonna do on his third outing and all goes far to say this right now Damien Chazelle you are three for three right now my man You directed the hell out of this movie and my god first man is just a brilliant epic Now before we get into this review a little bit further I do want to discuss a little bit of a controversy so I don't hear about it in the comments I know I still will but I want to discuss it right now. You do see the flag This is a very patriotic film the man is very patriotic you field this through the whole entire tone of the movie So no flag controversy. I got a flag right here. I got my NASA shirt I got another flag on this side. So I'm telling you right now this film Don't worry about the controversy the controversy is dumb and it makes no sense to me, but my god first man is Brilliant like I said, I absolutely love this movie. I'm going back and forth. What did I like it more? Did I like a star is born more? Did I like first man more because they're both so different? But they both are just some of the best films that I've seen the last three years and I really do mean that I mean man I Had to take a deep breath after this film a big sigh of relief But what is first man about well first man is about to look at the life of astronaut Neil Armstrong in the legendary space mission That led him to become the first man to walk on the moon on July 20th 1969 and this journey is incredible the thing that's really unique about this movie though that I Love that they took it. It wasn't just about the mission It was about the actual man in his life and what he went through the personal endeavors that the guy went through And that's something that I haven't seen in any personal missions through that had told this story yet But this is the most unique thing about it is that it tells the story in Neil Armstrong's eyes And what is going through and Damien Chazelle really captured that in the way that he filmed this whole movie The whole film is filmed with handheld cameras at first. It's a little bit distracting But as the film progressed I really did feel like I was one of the astronauts that were there that was going through this when the arm Like I was sitting on his shoulder and he pushed me into that place So damn well and you feel the uneasy tension you feel when you're in the rocket and all everything shaking About the sound design just adds to this But you really do feel like you are there in the rocket ship feeling like hey I could die in any second in this rust bucket because it is insane That how much fears in these guys eyes and that's what you really feel through Ryan Gosling A lot of people are saying that his performance as Neil Armstrong is very stoic in one note But I would have to go as far to say you are not looking at everything If you look at the man's eyes all his emotions are in those eyes And I think he just portrayed Neil Armstrong so damn well because if you really do look up Neil Armstrong He is pretty much the embodiment of him. I I think Ryan Gosling could have done it any better I think he gives easily one of the best performances of this year. Just sue Herb talking about performances. I mean Claire Foy a girl who has stunned everyone in the crown Which I've yet to see but every other smaller thing that I've ever seen her Just blows me away and I will be shocked if she does not win supporting actress this year She is so damn superb in first man and the layers and the emotion that she brings She steals almost every single scene. There's one scene in here where she's talking to Kyla Chandler Who again is wonderful and amazing in this film? But seriously she brings such gravitas to this role and I loved it goes to say every performance in here was great Jason Clark's in here Corey Stoll's great Kyle Chandler again is brilliant Every single person brings their a game and Damon Chazelle really brings the best out of all these actors He knows how to get these great performances again one of the most unique things about the story is that again It's through Neil Armstrong's eyes You get to see what the guy's going through and one of the harsh hard moments in here Which I'm not going to spoil But it's a scene where he's at a dinner table with this family Discussing some of the stuff that's good about to go down And it is just really really tough on the heart. This film is emotional. It got me there It got me teary-eyed it really did especially about one of the last moments in the whole film where I was about to cry And I love those sequences, but if we're talking about the last moments in here I mean all the space sequences in here are just jaw-dropping amazing I I couldn't tell you how many times where I didn't even have to take a double take And I could have believed that they really filmed this in space and that they really did go to the moon It is outstanding to see what they crafted within here and going to those moon sequences and how Intense it got to those moments where you're literally you know what's gonna happen because this is a true story But I was gripping my fist I felt so engaged and riveted throughout the whole entire movie through every sequence that it was going through Within those intense moments within those uneasy settling moments too I just could not get enough of it and man. Oh man the score for this film is just the cherry on top It is easily the best score of this year that I've heard so far And I was just bombarded by some Orgasmic Musical sounds. I mean seriously this score is Amazing jazana's team have almost crafted a masterpiece here. I do have one slight nitpick I do feel like the film is a little bit too fast of pace I could have easily gone for another 10 or 20 minutes with certain sequences I feel like some of the elements in this film are a little bit rushed But this is the total nitpick. It is a fast paced movie It's getting to the point and it's getting you there through this guy's life It's just a little bit of a nitpick for me I'd like to spend a little bit more time with armstrong's family And a little bit more of some of the missions and his teammates But maybe that's just really how armstrong was maybe he was really Distraught from his family and from these people during the missions and what was going on throughout these couple of years But again chazelle has crafted near a masterpiece Maybe in a couple years I might consider this a masterpiece just like I say the same thing with whiplash and la la land I adored the hell out of first man It's really hard going back and forth to see if this is really my favorite film of this year or as a star is born It's still my favorite It's going to take a little bit of thinking for that but with all that said I'm going to give first man an a plus Absolutely. What a brilliant film. I cannot recommend first man enough.
